Best day of my trip - The views were amazing! And our tour guide, Lola, was so funny and kind. And she also gave great suggestions on where to eat, and what to do. I’m so happy I had her as my tour guide. The bus had air conditioning which was also fantastic on a hot day! She gave fascinating Hawaiian history, and had a great sense of humor. If you want to experience the best day of your trip, book the Haleiwa tour RIGHT NOW. You are also so lucky if you get Lola as your tour guide!

Unforgettable Day Around Oahu – Lola Made It Extra Special! - This tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our bus driver and guide, Lola, was phenomenal — warm, funny, and so knowledgeable. She shared fascinating Hawaiian history and culture throughout the day and made every part of the journey feel personal and engaging.
We got to see so much of the island in just one day — from the iconic views at Diamond Head and the Halona Blowhole to the lush landscapes of the North Shore and peaceful Waimea Bay. Lola’s commentary brought every stop to life, and her passion for the island was infectious.
Haleiwa was a standout — a charming surf town with great food and local shops. The Dole Plantation was another favorite, especially with the delicious pineapple treats! The tour was well-organized and never felt rushed, with just the right amount of time at each stop.
If you want to experience the best of Oahu in a single, unforgettable day, this tour is a must — and if you’re lucky enough to get Lola as your guide, you’re in for a truly special experience!

Great full island tour for first time visitors - Went on the tour with Marlon as the driver/guide and would highly recommend. As others have mentioned in their reviews, this all day tour is best for people with limited time to explore the island or want to get a good feel for various locations (and learn the history of the island). Some tips and info below:
- Tour is best if you get a window seat (especially on the right side). Thus recommend one of the earlier pick up locations (even if your hotel is close to one of the later ones). You’ll get a better view (and can take pictures from the bus) plus can get off earlier when returning.
- Some of the stops are more touristy, but that should be expected. Longest stop is Haleiwa for 90 min, time to eat lunch and explore the shops on your own.
- Marlon was a great guide. You’ll learn all about the island, the different areas, and his entire life story.
- They give out free donuts and water bottles. Lunch you pay for on your own.

Amazing tour - What an amazing tour! Tony was great, not only did he drive us around, he was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the island and the history. We saw lots of places in one day. Just one thing to note is that you don’t get alot of time at the dole plantation (we would have loved to do the train ride) otherwise all of the other stops were perfectly timed. The poi Malasada was really yummy. Highly recommended.
